    How do I delete my classified post after I have found the item?

    Thanks Loren.

    doublesnaggle, How long have you been looking for this car? Although you will pay more, have you gone to a few dealers and looked at their CPO 997's? Don't be in a hurry! It took me 6 months to find mine as i was very, very picky. Ultimately, I ended up buying one from the dealer and I know for more $ but as Mijostyn says, the CPO coverage provided piece of mind for me. Good luck in your search!

    Don't ask me where, but some time back I saw a really nice unit that was motorized and with the push of an inside button, the plate flipped out and up from underneath the front of the car when needed. When you didn't want to display it, you simply pushed the button and it tucked away underneath the front end. May not be optimal for a Porsche since they are already low in the front though. FWIW...

    I agree, nice explanation!

    Have you considered eBay although i know it is buyer beware. For my 08C2S I recently bought some low mileage OEM sport exhaust mufflers for about a 1/3 the price of new and was very happy. FWIW...

    I looked into the factory offered short shift kit for my 08C2S and was told there were no warranty issues. However, I talked to my local independent shop and he was told by a factory Porsche rep that the short shift kit has caused some premature wear issues. BS or not, I don't know. I also don't know what differences there are from the 08 to 09 like you have that may be different. Just passing along some info, no more. BTW, I decided to not install the short shift kit on my 08.I have heard some people rave about the shorter throw and how much they liked it.

    One last question guys. Since I don't like the two recommended shops for mounting and balancing that Tire Rack gave me, I called my local Porsche dealer about mounting and balancing if I supplied the tires (Super Sports from Tire Rack). Their pricing on mounting and balancing from the dealer was right at $200.00 which I thought wasn't too bad. On alignment though, other independent tire shops wanted $175.00 or so for alignment but the Porsche dealer wanted $350.00. I was all prepared to let the dealer install the new tires until I got the alignment price. Any opinions on that?

    Thanks AP997S. Wheel Enhancement provided me a quote and it was very competitive to two others I got. Did you buy Super Sports from them?
  11. 0356kid
    Much better :thumbup:
  12. 0356kid
    Mr986 Out of curiosity, are you sure he paid $97K for a 07 Carrera S. That's pretty hgh even with options. I'd think that car should go for something in the $50K+ range.

    Also in the 356 circles. Condolences to his family.

    Just read some reviews on the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta and quite a few people raved about them. Unfortunately they don't offer a 305/30 in a 19" tire that I have on the rear.
  15. 0356kid
    Thanks for the suggestion White987S. I did contact Tire Rack and they gave me a very good price on the Super Sports. However, they recommended Sears for the installation and I am very reluctant to have them do the work. I have to say that if it was my wife's Prius, I probably wouldn't have a problem with that but.....

    To those in So. CA, has anyone ever purchased tires from Wheel Enhancement in Culver City, had them mounted and balanced?
  17. 0356kid
    Nice to hear about the super sports guys. Many thanks...
  18. 0356kid
    Thanks for the link Uwon. Looks like the Super Sports got nice reviews. Since my car still has warranty, what type of problem will I encounter with Porsche since these tires are not "N" rated. The local independent shop told me N versus non N is all in the sidewall construction.

    Have an 08C2S with Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires (235/35ZR19 & 305/30ZR19) N-1. 15,000 miles currently with a reasonable amount of tread but have started getting noisy as h___. One thing I like is the handling seems to be pretty good and I really like the sidewall design. I know that this is a pretty subjective issue but looking for suggestions. Also, car still has warranty so I need to stick with the "N" rating. I think Michelin are nice but overpriced so.... Thanks in advance.

    My cable was replaced by the dealer under warranty (08C2S). When I took the car in they asked if I noticed that it was cranking slower than usual and I said no. I thought that was the way it always cranked w/o problem until they put the new one on and now it turns over much better.

    Appreciate all the insight and comments. Thanks to all that responded.
  22. 0356kid
    Thanks again White987S. How did you connect yours so it was active at all times?
  23. 0356kid
    Thanks White987S for the insight.

    Just read an article in a recent issue of Excellence and in the tech session they suggested as preventative maintenance, to consider replacing the water pump every four years or 50,000 miles. Never heard this before and was wondering if anyone has done this or, an opinion on their recommendation.

    Have an 08C2S with PASM and Sport Chrono package. As mentioned in a previous post, I am contemplating adding the OEM PSE to my car. In reading my owners manual on the PSE system, it is activated by pushing my sport mode button and does not have the separate twin exhaust button. Therefore I cannot use the PSE in "normal" mode. Can someone that has a car with my features tell me if I am right or wrong (or someone knowledgeable on these options). Thanks in advance.
